Frans, le narrateur de ce livre, n'a pas quinze ans, il vient de sortir du coma. Il ne pourra plus…
jamais utiliser ses jambes, ne parlera plus, n'exprimera ses émotions qu'au moyen d'un crayon puisque sa main et son bras droits sont intacts. Mais cet adolescent n'est pas un personnage désespéré. Il réintègre très vite une classe de quatrième, se fait des copains et s'amuse de la vie tout en cultivant son amour pour l'écriture et la littérature. Parmi ses amis se trouve un garçon extraordinaire, une sorte d'apprenti sorcier qui construit un avion, fabrique de drôles de choses pour faire bouger les gens, les extraire de leur léthargie, produire du vivant et voler au-dessus de la rivière gelée par l'hiver. Ce personnage fantastique s'appelle Joe Speedboot. Ensemble, ils vont quitter le temps de l'adolescence, aimer la même fille et devenir inséparables. Car Joe a de grands projets pour son ami, l'idée d'un monde à part où il serait le plus fort. Ensemble, ils entrent dans l'univers de la compétition et pour un temps Frans devient un champion... Roman d'apprentissage et chronique villageoise de notre temps, ce livre retrace avec un humour merveilleux l'évolution de quelques copains en route vers l'au-delà de l'innocence.

"Ashley Bennet's world has been turned completely upside down. Just when she thought she'd finally landed the perfect guy, she…
gave up what she'd wanted so badly because she fell in love without planning to. And now she's alone. And she's going to have to find out who she really is. Maybe, in the last few years, she forgot that the most important thing was always to love herself. Cameron Parker has lost that confidence he exuded at every turn. He has to face the consequences of his actions, and make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else along the way... even if the one who ends up heartbroken is him. Will Ash and Cam manage to reconcile with themselves so they can find each other again?" -- Translation provided by NLSBy Karen Kingsbury. 2011

and at the risk of her budding romance with Diego." -- Provided by NLSBy Martín Casariego. 2015
"Ismael remembers the time when, at thirteen years old, his parents hired Rai, a boy five years older than him,…
to tutor him. After an unproductive first session, they made a pact: the student would study on his own and the teacher would talk to him about books, movies, music, life.... Also about Samuel, a young man who wrote to schedule a meeting with his ex-girlfriend, with the threat that if she did not show up he would commit suicide. With this starting point, Martín Casariego has written a novel of initiation, a novel about the passage from adolescence to maturity; about the family and the new forms of relationships between young people; about the intensity of such a decisive stage in life; about the weight of existence and how to alleviate it. A story marked by shadows, doubts and secrets, in which the white whale the narrator has been running from will end up showing up unexpectedly years later, changing everything and prompting him to rethink what happened." -- Translation provided by NLSBy R. L Stine. 2022

fun as they possibly can. People may think that they're gross and weird and strange, but they're not bad kids-they just don't know any better. In this hilarious new series from bestselling author R. L. Stine, the Garbage Pail Kids-from Adam Bomb to Brainy Janie-get into mischief at their middle school, all while battling bullies and their archenemies, Penny and Parker Perfect." -- GoodreadsBy Alvaro Enrigue. 2012
"'It's not that I've chosen to be second place, I'm just a natural. Besides, I've believed in the goodness of…
second place for many years.' So begins The Hero's Friend, first published in 1998 and remastered for this edition. This story by Álvaro Enrigue dusts off the naivety and vanity of childhood: Ponchito, a child like any other, played at being the hero. A memorable literary exercise. A sobering experience. Enrigue puts himself at the feet of his protagonist and relives the dialogues of two middle school kids who in their relentless fight against crime are forced to face the ultimate and most unexpected consequences." -- Translation provided by NLSBy Leticia Sierra. 2022
